Kneecap have been banned from entering Canada after “glorifying terrorist organisations” ahead of a scheduled tour.
The Irish rap trio, who have been at the heart of several recent controversies, were scheduled to perform four gigs in Toronto and Vancouver next month.
However, Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro barred the group from entering the county, claiming they had “engaged in actions and have made statements that are contrary to Canadian values and laws”.
Posting a video on X, Mr Gasparro accused the trio of: “Advocating for political violence, glorifying terrorist organisations and displaying hate symbols that directly target the Jewish community.”
“The group have amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”
